Creative Spaces connects you with nine UK national museums and galleries allowing you to explore their collections, find like-minded people and create your own content.

Creative Space is a social networking application that allows users to search across all nine museum and gallery collections and discover their own tastes and inspirations. Using virtual notebooks, users share items that they have discovered through search or their own personal collections. These items can be text, images, videos or links, from paintings through to family history. Users are encouraged to make connections within the community with people of similar interests and form groups around specific topics. A proactive museum experience provides inspiration from unexpected discoveries. It’s serendipity in action.
